Despite Real’s interest, Bayern are trying to extend Upamecano’s contract.

According to several media outlets, including Marca, Upamecano has informed his agent that he wants to join Real Madrid next season.The Frenchman’s contract with Bayern Munich runs until the end of the 2025/26 season. The Bavarian club are still trying to tie him down to a new deal, but negotiations have yet to reach a breakthrough.It’s worth remembering that Bayern signed Upamecano in the summer of 2021 from Leipzig for €42.5 million, and he has since established himself as one of the pillars of the German club’s defence.
